Robert Redford's family dedicates conservation plan for 316 acres at Sundance resort, with music, prayer and a wandering deer.
“We are stewards, we were stewards, we always will be stewards,” Redford’s daughter, Amy Redford, said during a celebration of about 100 people in a meadow in what is now to be called the Redford Family Elk Meadows Preserve, which the family dedicated Thursday.sold the Sundance Resort to a pair of high-end resort developers in December 2019
In the day’s emotional high point, Redford read a letter written “with this occasion in mind,” he said, in 2020 by his son, Jamie,“Elk Meadows is a priceless pedestal on which rests one of Utah’s most powerful peaks, Mount Timpanogos,” Jamie Redford wrote in the letter. “To walk those meadows in the summer, or snowshoe and cross-country ski there in the winter, is to enter a sanctuary, a place of safety, peace and contemplation.
The family has set aside the 316 acres at Elk Meadows, an expanse filled with aspen trees and summer wildflowers, in a conservation easement held by Utah Open Lands, a nonprofit land trust dedicated to preserving and protecting open spaces in Utah. The process to create the easement started in 2020. Jamie Redford wrote about his family’s ability “to protect Elk Meadows as a critical habitat for all kinds of native animal and plant species,” as he urged other land owners to follow their example. “Sadly, as we continue to recklessly alter, consume and degrade the environment that sustains us,” Jamie Redford’s letter said, “it becomes desperately important for those of us who can to embrace our ability to be good stewards of the natural world.
